Fybogel Mebeverine Sachets combine two active ingredients: ispaghula husk and mebeverine hydrochloride. This medication comes in the form of oral sachets, designed to relieve symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The ispaghula husk acts as a bulk-forming laxative, while mebeverine hydrochloride works as an antispasmodic. Together, they help manage IBS symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movements.
Fybogel Mebeverine Sachets primarily treat symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). These symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits such as diarrhoea or constipation. The medication helps regulate bowel movements and reduces discomfort caused by IBS. In some cases, doctors may prescribe Fybogel Mebeverine Sachets for other conditions that involve similar symptoms, but its primary use remains the treatment of IBS.
Fybogel Mebeverine Sachets work through the combined action of their two active ingredients. Ispaghula husk is a natural fibre that absorbs water in the intestines, forming a gel-like substance. This bulk-forming action helps normalise bowel movements, making stools easier to pass. Mebeverine hydrochloride, on the other hand, acts as an antispasmodic. It relaxes the muscles in the gut, reducing spasms and cramps. Together, these ingredients help alleviate the symptoms of IBS, providing relief from pain and discomfort.
Fybogel Mebeverine Sachets are suitable for adults and children over 12 years old who suffer from IBS. However, certain individuals should avoid this medication. Do not use Fybogel Mebeverine Sachets if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. People with certain medical conditions, such as intestinal obstruction, paralytic ileus, or severe dehydration, should not take this medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using Fybogel Mebeverine Sachets. Always follow your doctor’s advice to ensure this medication is safe for you.
Take Fybogel Mebeverine Sachets twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, preferably after meals.
Continue taking Fybogel Mebeverine Sachets for as long as your doctor recommends. The duration of treatment may vary depending on the severity of your symptoms and your response to the medication.
